Posted: 3/17/06 at 1:09pmI played Bobby in a local production. The sustained note at the end of RUN FREEDOM RUN is an A flat, but the vocal "ad lib" portion prior to that is written to go up to a C. Thank God it's AD LIB, cause I was like, "Hmmmmm a C ... yeah ... NO!" And the damn A flat took the whole rehearsal process to get. It's a tough show to sing! But it's my most favorite role ever!

It's a great role. I would love if my voice grew to that Ab sometime in my life. I'm only 16 so it could happen.
And I usually just go into a nasally head voice for the adlib. It's supposed to be humourous.

Hah...I love this song because it is EXACTLY in my range. On a good day I can belt the hell out of it...on a bad day...it ain't so pretty on those high notes.

Posted: 3/17/06 at 3:50pmyeah, well the vocal riffs aren't all chest voice/belt, they're more like a falsetto-yelp sorta thing. plus its comedy, so if you were to miss the note or something, it would just be funny.

Posted: 3/17/06 at 5:44pmI'm pretty sure the really high ad lib at the end of the song is a high E. It's hard, but when you nail it, it's the best feeling ever.
